"Red sky at night, sailor's delight". An amazing sunset on Lake Champlain. I'm trying to decide if this one is finished. Seems you can work forever on a sky. This photo shifts very gray and flat. In person there is much more vibrancy. Hmmm -- I guess I'll decide tomorrow. Sleep on it.

A tribute to Casper, my little buddy for the last 16 1/2 years. She isn't doing so well, so I wanted to paint this before I have to say good-bye. While she's still around to yowl at me her drawn out "m-o-m", and follow me around quietly requesting a lap. My heart breaks to see her slip away, so this is painted with much love.

An exercise in getting more paint on the panel. It seems easier when I use panel vs. canvas. I'm trying to really load it on, and also be a little freer and looser. This was a good subject to be free and loose. Another title or caption I thought of "I'm all ears, Mom!" Such a cute little guy. Shelburne Farms herd of sheep early summer.
